LYNX-DEV lynx / pine incompatibility

[Seth Rogers]

Here's my lynx info:

pc19% lynx -version

Lynx Version 2.5
(c)GNU General Public License
<URL:http://www.nyu.edu/pages/wsn/subir/lynx.html>

pc19% uname
Linux

When I get text/html attachments in pine messages, I use
netscape -remote commands to view them with this .mailcap line:

text/html;netscape -remote 'OpenFile(%s)'

Unfortunately, when I start lynx I can't view any html files:

pc19% lynx http://www.yahoo.com

lynx: Start file could not be found or is not text/html or text/plain
      Exiting...

Even when I set up my .mailcap to read html in lynx it fails:

text/html;xterm -e lynx %s       (or)
text/html;lynx %s

This time it goes into an infinite loop until I hit control-C.

Is there any way to use lynx AND have an entry for text/html in my
.mailcap?  Thanks.
